Get to know them!

The Hercules DJControl Inpulse 500 is a top-performing 2-channel DJ controller with pro-level features. It boasts great-feeling controls, such as two high-resolution jog wheels and 16 RGB-backlit pads, along with cutting-edge features like Beatmatch Guides and an Intelligent Music Assistant (IMA). A Filter/FX section supplies smooth, customizable transitions between tracks, while the controller’s crossfader includes a Curve switch for changing the crossfade curve. The DJControl Inpulse 500 features a built-in audio interface and hardware input mixer with a full array of I/O, including a microphone input with High EQ and Low EQ knobs for tone sculpting. You also get an aux input with ear-grabbing filter effects. Retractable/extendable feet provide easy cable routing and protect against spilled drinks. The DJControl Inpulse 500 comes with Serato DJ Lite and DJUCED DJ software, plus compatibility for Serato DJ Pro (sold separately).

Teeming with pro-level features for performing DJs

Tailor-made for the performing DJ, the DJControl Inpulse 500 is teeming with pro-level features. Two high-resolution jog wheels with easy-to-use rings boast touch detection for responsive scratching. A Filter/FX section supplies smooth, customizable transitions between tracks. Manually sync up your tracks with Beatmatch Guides, using either Serato DJ Lite or DJUCED. You also get 16 RGB-backlit pads, a vinyl function, and Loop In/Loop Out buttons, plus a crossfader with a Curve switch for changing the crossfade curve without taking your hands off the controller. The DJControl Inpulse 500’s Intelligent Music Assistant (IMA) works in conjunction with the included DJUCED software to suggest the best-suited upcoming track (you can use Serato DJ Lite’s Autoplay function, as well).

Built-in audio interface and hardware mixer with tons of I/O

The Hercules DJControl Inpulse 500 boasts a built-in audio interface and hardware input mixer with a full complement of I/O. This bus-powered 2-channel DJ controller includes a balanced microphone input, two 1/4-inch and two RCA master outputs, a 1/8-inch stereo mini jack input, two RCA aux inputs, and two headphone outputs. Connect your microphone to the DJControl Inpulse 500’s balanced input and sculpt it with High EQ and Low EQ knobs. Then plug your smart device or media player into the aux input and add ear-grabbing filter effects — independent of your software. At Sweetwater, we appreciate the DJControl Inpulse 500’s cutting-edge design.

Includes two top-drawer DJ software applications

The DJControl Inpulse 500 comes with both Serato DJ Lite and DJUCED DJ software. Serato DJ Lite contains the best features of the industry-standard Serato DJ software. Whether you’re emulating traditional turntable DJing or taking advantage of the extreme flexibility of the DJControl Inpulse 500’s high-tech features, Serato DJ Lite provides you with the best in-the-box DJing experience you could ask for. Ready to step up to the big leagues? The DJControl Inpulse 500 is also compatible with Serato DJ Pro (sold separately). The DJControl Inpulse 500 also includes DJUCED. This feature-rich DJ software includes a powerful modular interface, a full suite of effects, loops, hot cues, beat jumps, and multilayer samples, plus synchronization of up to four decks, slip mode, and multiple quantize modes. And thanks to DJUCED’s integrated video DJ Academy, interactive help, Intelligent Music Assistant, and Beatmatch Guides system, it’s also the ideal software to guide the uninitiated through the world of DJing.

Select manufacturers may require that only the manufacturer’s products qualify towards the minimum purchase amount needed to be eligible for promotional financing. Otherwise, an invoice that meets the minimum purchase amount and contains at least one qualifying manufacturer product is eligible for promotional financing. No interest will be charged on promo purchase balance, and equal monthly payments are required on promo purchase until it is paid in full. The payments equal the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next whole dollar. These payments may be higher than the payments that would be required if this purchase was a non-promo purchase. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to the prior months’ rounding. Regular account terms apply to non-promo purchases. New Accounts as of 07/31/2025: Purchase APR is 34.99%. Penalty APR is 39.99%. Min Interest Charge is $2. Existing cardholders: See your credit card agreement terms. Subject to credit approval.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.
